urban growth

Design Competition in the open-program category. Steel was dictated to be the primary building material/structural component.

The program chosen was a vertical farm+dwelling complex working in conjunction with an aquaponic fish farm. The site chosen was the deserted Calatrava Spire site in Chicago, Il. The large hole became a place that would be celebrated in regards to the previous attempted structure, while utilizing it for the needs of housing the fish farm and underground parking.
